Dogecoin Leads Major Cryptos in Profit-Taking Slide as Inflows Bolster Bitcoin

24.04.2025 12:24
Major cryptocurrencies saw significant declines on Thursday as traders locked in profits following earlier gains this week. Dogecoin led the losses among key digital assets, falling above 2%, while Bitcoin managed to hold near the $93,000 level. Ethereum experienced a modest drop of 1.5%, and other tokens like Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Binance Coin (BNB) also registered losses exceeding 2%, contributing to an overall market capitalization decline of 2.5%. Concurrently, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $916 million in inflows, highlighting Bitcoin's emerging role as a safe-haven asset amid a weaker U.S. dollar index and ongoing market uncertainties. Despite these profit-taking moves, institutional interest driven by Bitcoin's reduced correlation with equities and its defensive positioning continues to provide support. Mixed signals from influential political figures and ongoing trade and tariff concerns have further complicated the market outlook, leaving traders cautious as they await sustained macro catalysts to drive renewed momentum.
